Hello, dear listener. Looks like we're having a two-fer with out-of-ordinary entries.I had been working on a draft for tomorrow's newsletter, only to of course have it entirely undermined by the events that unfolded last night. I decided instead to record some more focused thoughts on the situation.Depending on how the next 24 hours or so go, I may put out a shorter newsletter/podcast covering some other topics, but I am treating everything as temporary for the time being.Wishing you well. Stay safe. Stay frosty. Stay skeptical. Remember your community.
